Bass Wielder

No one does re-finishing🤔! That bad/hard a job that I get silence🤐?……😖 🫨

Picked up a cheapie that I like and have been slowly (and against what I thought I’d do with it) upgrading/modding. Thinking about refinishing the body as it’s a bit…untidy. Just seeing if it can be done reasonably well without getting silly financially. So starting here on the homegrown! 🤔💡 All ideas welcome.👍🏾

I’ve been gigging Definitely try it!! I’ve been gigging with a QSC CP8 for the last few years and it’s been really good. It’s also more basic and cheaper than the K series. To be fair this is for either Double Bass or smaller jobs as I use my AER combo for bigger things but I’m sure if I wanted a rig for the big jobs (or didn’t like my AER so much), that I could use the big brother to the QSC or something of that quality. It makes sense to have full range at your disposal. For years I was getting fed up of using ‘brand’ name bass amps/cabs/combos that ‘coloured’ my natural bass sound too much that I used them by plugging into the return input. Until I tried the AER which is expensive but has a nice ‘colour’ (nothing is really flat), and then I gravitated to PA active cabs. Sorry bass amp manufacturers…..🤐 *ps: Coincidentally the only amp head I still own and kept the longest in my buying record is a TC RH750. It one that I could live with (maybe one day I’ll find the ideal cab for it), as a back up. Best of luck in your quest 🤞🏾

Well….it does take a bit of patience and courage (financial bravery too)! However the feel good factor is worth it! ps: not sure if I’ll keep mines….I’m out of space and amp/cab/combo happy but never owned SWR before so had too. The ‘Redhead’ was my dream but never got one sadly. So don’t be surprised if it appears on BC……at some point! Just don’t hold your breath lads. I’m gonna enjoy it a bit😎

Best of luck with this!👍🏾 Hope the laundry comes out fine as well🤭

Thanks for the responses guys! I got brave did a bit of research and engineering and it’s been sorted!!! Sounds so good that I’m taking it to tomorrow’s gig (with a backup of course) as a test. Aural Enhancer rules!! 😎

I hear ya and noted! Thanks👍🏾

Hey guys, Hoping to make this a DIY (if not above my level) and not have to trouble my technician or my pocket too much! I picked this up and upon arrival I heard tumbling noises in the box. Turns out that it’s the transformer. I pushed the brown wire back onto the switch (seemed obvious) but not sure about the blue and green (if they go anywhere). Not sure that’s the original transformer as well🤷🏽‍♂️🫣 But I was assured that it worked perfectly (before being sent). Thoughts? Thanks guys SWR Workingmans 10 schem Rev 02_.pdf Workingman's 15-2004 Control Panel PCB.pdf

Swift and pleasant transaction with the Lozz man! 👍🏾 👍🏾 (deserves a double)
